Signing of Holocaust Book of Commitment in Parliament

Last week, I signed the Holocaust Book of Commitment in Parliament. The Book is organised by the Holocaust Education Trust, commemorating the memory of those who died in the Holocaust as well as honouring those who survived.

Today is Holocaust Memorial Day in the UK. A day dedicated to the victims of the Holocaust. This day also marks to 69th anniversary of the liberation of the Auschwitz-Birkenau death camp by Allied forces. Auschwitz the site of the largest mass murder in human history.

Education on the Holocaust is a part of the new National Curriculum from 2014. I am proud to support Holocaust Memorial Day so that we can learn from the deep evil of the Holocaust and always challenge those who seek to persecute others. We will never forget what was done.
